Guys, Let's Play Catch Up

Now that I took control of my blog from A Monkey, I realize I need to tell you all the personal details of my life that I forgot to blog about.

First, Magic!

So we took our first plane trip together in October and made Everyone sick.

Especially when Magic Man swaddled me like a baby.

I'm sorry but I get cold sometimes.  

We were flying to CA for a whirlwind weekend where
we had to fit everything wedding related into 3 days.

Let's see what and how we did:

First, this little bromance started.  It's real love.

Magic Man picked out the wedding cake flavors.

He did good.

We did an Arrested Development Tour 

(but didn't find the Banana Stand).

Then we tried to play Red Rover on the boardwalk
(no one was game).

We had an awesome family taco party and A Monkey tried to fool everyone into thinking she was the bride-to-be when she showed up in a white dress.  

The insanely talented Chelsey B did a hair and make-up preview.

We did a walk through of Strawberry Farms - to see where the wedding would take place (my parents chose it without us seeing it and I could not have been happier.  Magic Man was just content as you can see.)

I just have to say, Southern Guys do it best
-- they won't let you carry Anything.

Magic Man was introduced to my high school / super hip LA friends and now we are going to plan a couples vacation.  Well we didn't decide on that but in my head we will.

Magic Man was a good sport about picking out my wedding shoes.  

He only fell asleep once in the store.

We ended the weekend with a dinner at our family joint, Mama D's.  (Which is where my family went to celebrate our engagement the day it happened and when the owner found out he sent free appetizers. And when my dad introduced us this time as 'the couple' we got even More free appetizers.  I love Italian people who own restaurants in California.)

Then it was time to head back to the South.
And I learned how to dress for an airplane ride.
